  6. Just equities. For platforms, they have Sterling and Lightspeed.

  7. Hmmm....I don't believe either of those platforms are programmable, are they ?
    I last used Lightspeed 10 years ago.
    If so, please provide some links to their API or language.

  9. Ugh....I looked at it a few years ago, and I saw many problems with it.
    More importantly, it appeared very aged and without good support.
    Have things improved in that regard ?

  10. Agree, still clunky, but reliable and a lot of trading venues. This is the only platform that Avatar recommends.
